Ekow Eshun is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on May 27, 1968 in London, England, United Kingdom.
Ekow Eshun (born 27 May 1968) is a British writer, journalist, broadcaster, and curator. He is the editor-in-chief of the quarterly magazine Tank, a former editor of Arena magazine, and the former director of the Institute of Contemporary Arts. He is Chair of the Fourth Plinth Commissioning Group, and Creative Director of Calvert 22 Foundation.
Eshun’s memoir, Black Gold of the Sun: searching for home in England and Africa, published in 2005, deals with a return trip to Ghana, Ghanaian history, and issues of identity and race. Reviewing the book for the New Statesman, Margaret Busby said: “His rich memoir, which comes fittingly adorned with a golden jacket designed by Chris Ofili, attempts to answer the question: ‘Where are you from?’ Eshun’s search for home and identity is sometimes achingly poignant, a story of semi-detachment, of fragmentation and duality, which must have been cathartic to write. ‘There is no singularity to truth’ is its refrain.” Black Gold of the Sun was nominated for an Orwell Prize in 2006.

Ekow Eshun was born in London, the younger brother of writer Kodwo Eshun. His family are Fante from Ghana. His father, whom he calls ‘Joe’, was a supporter of Kwame Nkrumah, and was working at the Ghanaian High Commission when Nkrumah was overthrown in a military-police coup in February 1966. He continued to support Nkrumah, visited him in Conakry, Guinea, where he was in exile, and in September 1967 took the risk of returning to West Africa, where he was arrested in Benin and returned to Ghana, where he spent two years in prison. Although three years (1971–74) of Eshun’s childhood were spent in Accra, for the most part he was brought up in London, after his father returned to London to work again at the Ghana High Commission, a position he lost when the prevailing military regime was overthrown in a coup by Jerry Rawlings. He attended Kingsbury High School in North West London, later reading history and politics at the London School of Economics. During his time there he edited both Features and Arts for the student newspaper The Beaver.
